If you're LA 5 00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.960 Clippers, They're locking in every game every night, Adam Osland, the Clippers 6 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:30.559 come through late. They outscore the Pistons by eleven in the fourth quarter thanks 7 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.280 to PG thirteen and some timely free throws throughout this one, and they win 8 00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:40.719 one twelve to one oh six over the Pistons. At Crypto dot com Arena, 9 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.960 welcome in to your postgame show. I'm at a Moslin. Coming up, 10 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.799 we'll have Clippers talk on AM five to seventy LA Sports if you want 11 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.640 to get on early age six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six 12 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:55.079 six ninety seven two five seventy. But before we get back to Carlo Jimenez, 13 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.399 let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on the Los Angeles Clippers 14 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:04.400 Audio Network, this is LA Clippers Basketball. AM five to seventy KLAC Los 15 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:11.439 Angeles ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station. All Right, 16 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.879 Carlo, I'm gonna spin this in the positive direction. The Clippers just 17 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.480 won a ballgame where they had zero offensive rebounds. Somehow, they came through 18 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.760 late, They played their best when they had to, and Paul George a 19 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.680 huge bounce back performance. You know, Adam, we've been talking about this 20 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.920 team's ability to win in different ways. They just want to test themselves. 21 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.000 They said, let's see, we've never played a game in franchise history where 22 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.879 we haven't had an offensive rebound seef we can win one, and it got 23 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.760 a win in this one. It was an impressive performance for a team that 24 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.040 struggled for most of the night. But like this Pisson team has dealt with 25 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.239 all season long, at them closing games has been a tough run for a 26 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.040 young group in Detroit, the tenth youngest team in the NBA, and the 27 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.840 Clippers were able to capitalize late. Paul George turned it on. Was thirty 28 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.159 three points, a couple of big three pointers, the monstrous throwdown Kawhi Leonard 29 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.400 really kept them afloat there in that third quarter, kept them within arm's reach. 30 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.520 I thought Westbrook was great off the bench to start and James Harden once 31 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.719 again deal in addition with his eight assists. It was a great group win 32 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.439 by the Clippers. Yes, there's a lot to clean up, but learning 33 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:22.080 in victories is the positive in this one, no doubt, and big kudos 34 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:27.400 to coach Lou for staying small because the Clippers were able to rotate much better 35 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.240 on the perimeter. You mentioned it, but after starting seven to fourteen from 36 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:36.159 distance, the Pistons were just two for their last sixteen from three. I 37 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.439 mean, it was a whole other team and gotta give coach Lou a ton 38 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.319 of credit. I think you also have to give Russell Westbrook and James Harden 39 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.039 a ton of credit Adham because they had the assignment of taking on during late 40 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.199 in that game, kind of sandwiching him on the defensive end, he wasn't 41 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.240 really a factor despite the lack of height for the Clippers, and that translated 42 00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:00.159 to some great defense. I thought Terrence man was in his twenty four minutes 43 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.360 on his on ball defense in this one. Harden was able to swipe at 44 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.319 the basketball out having a mere coffee, I mean a block, a steal 45 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.960 in twelve points. The Clippers defense with coffee out there in that small ball 46 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.439 lineup. I feel like Adam he really allows that lineup to thrive because of 47 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.240 the way he plays defense, and it's one of the more dominant groups in 48 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.560 the NBA up and down. I mean, you think about those five players 49 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.840 in Westbrook, Hard and George Leonard and Coffee. Those are five great defenders 50 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.919 that the Clippers have on the floor. Yeah, the versatility with this squad 51 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.319 is invaluable, as is a mere Coffee. I want to say he had 52 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.759 eight of his twelve points in that fourth quarter, a couple of key three 53 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.879 pointers, and the Clippers knocked him down at the line just one miss free 54 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.479 throw twenty five for twenty six. They go on to win by six. 55 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.080 But big brother Jake, he had him win him by five. We're still 56 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.439 giving him full credit for that. That's a heck of a call. Said 57 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.360 that early on in the ballgame. Clippers with a one to twelve to one 58 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:59.439 zero six victory over the Detroit Pistons Monday, Monday Monday, there's taken on 59 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.919 that tim Wolves right here at Crypto dot Com Arena tiptime at seven thirty pregame 60 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:10.840 show starting at six thirty.

Paul 68 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.120 George with fifteen of his thirty three points in the fourth quarter as the Clippers 69 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.199 would come back and pull away late to win one swelve to one oho six 70 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.720 over the Pistons. I'm Adam Oslin. Welcome back into your postgame locker room 71 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.639 show coming up on a five to seven E LA Sports. We'll have Clippers 72 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.480 stock for you eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six 73 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.959 ninety seven two five seventy More of you, less of me, the better. 74 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.000 My voice has been failing me. Clippers were down by nine at the 75 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.040 half in that third quarter, though some signs of life from the claw Kawhi 76 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.800 Leonard Leonard right out Broadway. He packed it with a left hand. Can 77 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.920 the claw wake come up? Leonard? Right wing pops for three you bets, 78 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.800 can you do that? Jailing? Leonard picks up the mask, walk 79 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.519 the hardwood, takes it down the left alley, barging his way in to 80 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.800 the paint, trying to finish. He's hacked in the act. Open the 81 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.399 arm Kawhi with eleven in the third quarter, and the Clippers had it down 82 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.879 to just a five point lead for Detroit heading into the fourth, but the 83 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:54.399 man of the hour in a big comeback performance after a couple of weeks of 84 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.720 having some shooting struggles out there. It was good to see Paul George get 85 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.600 off the snide and style, especially down the stretch of the fourth. George 86 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.000 at the top, with eight to shoot, drives down lane right handed, 87 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:10.680 lamp popping in DG thirteen's got twenty. George strolling into the front courd crossed 88 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.079 so a left hand flying to the ram pots a jumper near wing rattles it 89 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.480 through DG thirteen makes it a two possession game. George on the right wings 90 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:23.600 Herco's left hand at the chop twitch John by Ivy one on one, takes 91 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.480 it into the paint, turns the corner, slams it over the top of 92 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:33.759 Durn. Plus the foul Paul George snatching souls as he tripped police in the 93 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.879 paint, the hoop and the harm Leonard left base on Clipper's trying to add 94 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:45.519 more. George right wing three perfect Clippers up ten, Leonard right wing working 95 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.240 on Cunningham back to the basket through a double team. George opened straight away 96 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:57.199 three buckets back to back from downtown thirty one for George. George left angle 97 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.920 with two, got a hoist to the rim with one, the right hand 98 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:08.480 lapsteaks through Paul George bail out bucket PG. Thirteen with fifteen of US thirty 99 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.279 three points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers go on to win and 100 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.720 survive one twelve to one oh six over the Detroit Pistons at home at Crypto 101 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:25.240 where they will be Monday night taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves, a huge Western 102 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:29.959 Conference showdown.

I'm at a Moslin Hey. 109 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.959 Clippers got some help. Dallas took down the OKC Thunder today.

I like that twenty four number. He put 115 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.879 him up four of thirteen from the outside. I like that thirteen number he 116 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.039 was firing. With a bounce back performance from Paul George, who had fifteen 117 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.440 of his thirty three points in the fourth quarter, James Harden with fourteen. 118 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.519 He also came alive when it mattered most. Russell Westbrook with thirteen points off 119 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.039 the bench, a mere coffee, eight of his twelve coming in the fourth 120 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.440 quarter, a couple of clutch three pointers. Still looking for an update on 121 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:58.519 Norman Palell. He would leave the game with what appeared to be a blow 122 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.759 to the head, a lasser and he would be carried into the locker room. 123 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.720 We're hoping for a speedy recovery from Norm. We'll have an update coming 124 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.120 up. Clippers next ball game Monday night. They're taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves, 125 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.679 oh and one against them so far this season. They didn't have Big 126 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.559 Zoo for that one. He only had to play nineteen minutes. The Clippers 127 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.960 went small. It worked, They rotated better on the perimeter. Defensively, 128 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.360 he should have plenty for Rudy Gobert left in the tank. On Monday night, 129 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.919 tiptime is at seven thirty. Your pregame show will start at six thirty. 130 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.039 Outside of Los Angeles, we were leaving you until then.

I'm Adam Oslin to a six 143 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.399 six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five 144 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.000 seventy is the phone number coming up? I don't know who's coming on, 145 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.559 but Chuck Mackler or Will Updyke will be here. You'll hear from the head 146 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:54.679 coach and Paul George postgame after a big bounce back performance, bouncing back from 147 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.879 a week and a half worth of games where he just has been struggling with 148 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.559 the shot possibly related to the groin injury. He pushed through it. He 149 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.320 has been He played thirty six minutes. They were all necessary, as he 150 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.279 had fifteen of his thirty three down the stretch, a huge dunk two hand 151 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.799 in Remrocker it was an a one as well. Knocked down some three pointers 152 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.519 and kept the Pistons at bay enough to find a way to come through and 153 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.720 win this ball game that the Clippers quite frankly had to have. And when 154 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.240 you look at some of the numbers in this box score, it is astounding 155 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.480 that the Clippers were able to get the victory. They lost the points in 156 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.759 the paint battle sixty eight to thirty four. The Pistons had twice the amount 157 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:52.000 of points in the paint. The Pistons started off this game seven of fourteen 158 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.600 from three. After that they were just two of sixteen. You could say 159 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.200 it's the law of averages, but they've been a top three to three point 160 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.799 shooting team in twenty twenty four, going back to January first, the last 161 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.600 two games they have nuke teams shooting sixty percent from the outside. So I 162 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.919 was wondering at some point would they ever be able to turn it off, 163 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.639 would the Clippers find a way to defend this hot shooting three point team, 164 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.080 a team that just lost six players brought in six new ones at the trade 165 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.519 deadline. Guys who are playing for something because all of a sudden they have 166 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.320 a new coach to impress and Monty Williams change of scenery can do wonders. 167 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.399 And they've been playing good basketball. They won the last two games. They 168 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:45.799 blew out the Kings in Sacramento through hot shooting and boards, and the Clippers 169 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.559 somehow won a game where they got out rebounded by twenty two and fourteen to 170 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.679 zero on offensive rebounds. The amount of times you win a ballgame when a 171 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.720 team gets up twenty more shots than you is few and far between. If 172 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:09.240 you're wondering what saved the Clippers, one, they only had three turnovers in 173 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.480 the second half after eight in the first half. Two or one A, 174 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:20.159 one B. It was them going twenty five of twenty six at the free 175 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.559 throw line. That's how they won the game. Not sexy, not pretty, 176 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.720 but they forced the issue at the rim. They got to the charity 177 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:37.000 stripe and missed just one. That's it. It wasn't It wasn't an impressive 178 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.480 performance. I have to be honest about that. You're down nine at the 179 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.399 half, you're down five going into the fourth quarter, and even when they 180 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.000 got up double digits, they relinquished the lead. It was touch and go. 181 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.200 It was down to five points a few different times, but they pulled 182 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:58.720 through late thanks to PG thirteen stepping up late again, fifteen points in the 183 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:05.480 four quarter, thirty three points in the ballgame after he was coming off some 184 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.279 miserable shooting performances a game against the Pelicans on Wednesday where he started zero for 185 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:18.080 nine. He and Kawhi Leonard combined to go five for no seven for twenty 186 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.279 five in that game. Today, Kawhi Leonard was seven of eighteen, shooting 187 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:28.200 three three pointers twenty four points. Paul George, with his thirty three, 188 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.720 went four to thirteen from the outside. Please it's the only way, and 189 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:37.039 I gave him credit Wednesday for continuing to shoot. The only way to get 190 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.639 out of a shooting slump is to put him up, and he got up 191 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.879 twenty four shots. Sometimes that can be the difference. I remember Kawhi was 192 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.200 struggling a little bit. Now, this was much earlier in the season, 193 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.639 of course, because last two and a half months not many can say they've 194 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.960 played better than Kawhi Leonard in the league. But he had that game and 195 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.279 it was the worst loss of the season. I understand that against the Denver 196 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:07.440 Nuggets, Reggie Jackson, DeAndre Jordan former Clippers taking over late an inexcusable loss. 197 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.399 But Kawhi got up. I want to say twenty five shots in that 198 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.039 game, might have only made ten of them. But from then on is 199 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.200 when he started this hot streak. He got it out of his system. 200 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.759 That's what has to happen sometimes. Paul George, I'm hoping, just did 201 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.480 the same. I know he's been banged up. This Clippers team has been 202 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.320 between he and a Visa Zubots. I know there's just a couple of games 203 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.759 left till the All Star break. But you can't let up now. You 204 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:43.639 can't give in, and you can't lose at home. I don't care about 205 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.480 a matinee start, I really don't. To the Detroit Pistons, why do 206 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.279 I say you can't use it as an excuse because people complain that they have 207 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.440 so many of these early weekend home games. Okay, if you have so 208 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.879 many of them, how are you not used to it by now? How 209 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.279 does it catch you by surprise. Still, that doesn't make a lot of 210 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.200 sense to me. And the Clippers were up twelve to two to start, 211 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:17.320 but then Detroit turned things around quickly. That hot shooting from three, the 212 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.879 great equalizer got them pointed in the right direction, and the Clippers were playing 213 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.720 uphill down nine and a half. Didn't even give you any highlights of the 214 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.480 half. Clippers just weren't good enough. They weren't focused enough. Credit coach 215 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:37.639 Lou who made the adjustments with going small so they had more switchability and versatility 216 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.919 along the perimeter to make sure they could stay with their man regardless of where 217 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:47.440 the screen was coming from, and put a hand up on three pointers that 218 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.879 won them the game. That free throws. But the Piston's going just two 219 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:57.679 of sixteen from three after starting seven or fourteen. Let the Clippers hold on 220 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.120 one twelve to one six. You'll take the victories, don't get me wrong, 221 00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:07.000 but there has to be a different level of focus Monday night against the 222 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.240 Minnesota Timberwolves, and I think there will be. Speaking of coach Lou normOn, 223 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:18.160 Powell took a blow to the head early in the fourth quarter and it 224 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.359 was scary to say the least dangerous play. He was amongst the trees, 225 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:30.839 took an elbow and if you're watching it, I mean it was uh one 226 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.240 of those where most people would like to turn away. It was a dangerous 227 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.960 looking play and Norman Powell had to be helped to the locker room. He 228 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:48.759 was wildly There was a laceration, there was a lot of fluid, a 229 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.759 lot of blood. It was unfortunate. It was a scary sight. But 230 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.599 we do have an update postgame. I want to hear from coach lou on 231 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.279 Norman Powell, because I know Clipper Nation was holding their collective breath on getting 232 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:06.519 this injury update. Hey Ty, how's Norm doing? Then? What happened 233 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.240 during came down after rebound with his elbow, hit him in his here, 234 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:18.039 split him up some stitches. But he'll be okay. And there you go, 235 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.640 short and sweet, there he'll be okay. Norm's one of the tougher 236 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.640 guys on the team. So you see him go down. We wonder what 237 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:27.839 that would do to the Clippers. It could be deflating. They were just 238 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.680 starting to take control of the ballgame. They played through it. It's not 239 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.640 easy you see your teammate go down like that. You see Norm Powell go 240 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.920 down like that, so good news there getting stitched up. It was quite 241 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.480 the gash. It was brutal, it was tough, it was gruesome. 242 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:51.559 You don't often see that in basketball, it happens sometimes. So it looks 243 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.359 like Norm Powell is on the mend already, and that is a great sign 244 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.599 Clipper Nation. Speaking of, let's start things off with Mark and Huyton Beach 245 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.000 on Clipper stop without them all. Hey, I'd rather have an ugly win 246 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.160 than an exciting loss any day of the week, you know. Yeah, 247 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:15.240 And so hey, you know how you were mentioning Kawhi Leonard's not getting much 248 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.119 for the MVP stuff. I took that to heart, and so I watched 249 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:23.519 Game Time and ESPN and all of those so called experts and ones that sometimes 250 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:29.200 even vote, and what they came up with their mindset definition of an MVP 251 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.799 is someone that's just outstanding on the team, and they said the reason A 252 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.119 couple of them alluded to the reason why Kawhi Leonard wasn't getting it as well, 253 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.519 He's got James Harden and Paul George, so he's not really there's three 254 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.279 of them, so that's why he's not as valuable, and all I could 255 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.400 think of was, really, that's your definition because he's the best one and 256 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.960 doing all these numbers, but because there's two other good ones around him, 257 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.440 he doesn't get the MV considered. You have to be an outstanding player like 258 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.960 Gillis, Alexander or Jokic with no one else that's doing as good in order 259 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.519 to get that. Funny, because I just saw Jamal Murray close out the 260 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.920 Lakers with Jokic on the floor the other night. To act like he doesn't 261 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.920 have help, to act like Giannison, Denni Koupo doesn't have help with Damian 262 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:22.200 Lillard and Chris Middleton, it's just false. So I don't get why they're 263 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.160 they're shifting the goalpost just for Kawhi Leonard, especially when you take into account 264 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.160 he's by far the best defender of the three. Maybe not by far with 265 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.400 Paul George, but he is their most important defender. They are ten points 266 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:41.640 better per one hundred possessions defensively when he's out there. They drop from being 267 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.119 a top three defense when he's on the court to a bottom five defense. 268 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.759 To overlook that in twenty twenty four, I know it's advanced numbers oh okay. 269 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.759 I mean the coaches, the front office guys, they look at this 270 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:59.000 stuff. They bring up this stuff on broadcasts all the time. So it's 271 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:00.839 time for the riders in the media to get with the times. I would 272 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.680 say, hey, Mark, yeah, I could quote, I can quote 273 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:08.000 Rodney Dangerville. We don't get no respect, no respect. I tell you 274 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:15.519 that's all right. They'll earn it the old fashioned way, just getting w's 275 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.880 Mark, I appreciate the phone call. Hottest team in the NBA going back 276 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:26.759 to November seventeenth, they have won thirty two of their last forty one games. 277 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.559 Now Clippers win one twelve to one to OZHO six, survive in advanced 278 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.880 style over the Detroit Pistons.

More Clippers stop next year on 283 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:56.680 a m five to seventy LA Sports LA Clippers Basketball is on the two to 284 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.000 one three Era continues. You're listening to the LA clip first on the LA 285 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:07.000 Clippers Audio Network. Clippers win one twelve to one oh six. They escape 286 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.720 against the Detroit Pistons. I should say late in the ballgame, Paul George 287 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.119 was fantastic fifteen of US thirty three and the fourth they were down five heading 288 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.680 into it. They win by six, one twelve to one oh six over 289 00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.720 the Pistons. Welcome back into Clippers Talk. I'm at a mouslin to eight 290 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.759 six six ninety seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five 291 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:33.200 seventy is of the phone number coming up. We will have Will Updyke gone 292 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.279 from clips in Dip. But first let's get back to your phone calls. 293 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:40.480 Morris in Long Beach, Morris here on Clippers top with that Amueslin, what's 294 00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:44.400 up? You know something, Adam. Sometimes you get sick and tired of 295 00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.920 being sick and tired, and that's what's happened with the Detroit Pistons. I 296 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:49.640 saw them the other night against Sacramento. I got a lot of respect for 297 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.079 Sacramento, particularly with that guy. Fuck they guys the team that started off 298 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.519 the earlier, the first part of the show, Detroit Pitts, that's not 299 00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.519 the same team. That's not the same team. They could easily won this 300 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.480 game today, but the Clippers got something going for him. Madam. It 301 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.319 kind of kissed me out. It really doesn't matter what the score is. 302 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.880 We just know they're gonna win, okay. And one of the problems that 303 00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:15.160 Kawhi has is he's not super spectacular scoring ninety points. But they don't give 304 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.000 that food no respect for playing defense because he's got more steals than he's got 305 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.400 fouls, and nobody else can see that. So I'm with Cohi as the 306 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.799 MVP talk. You really look at the team. The team is winning, 307 00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:26.720 and after Monday, we ain't looking back at him in terms of the flots 308 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.559 in the first place. We ain't looking back after Monday. All right, 309 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.799 you be hang your something. I know a guy who said the Clippers by 310 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.160 mid February would be at the top of the standings in the West. I 311 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.359 think it was Morrison long Beach. I would have kept him on, but 312 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.759 he hung of himself. I mean Mike drop Phone, drop landline drop. 313 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:52.119 Clippers currently a half game back of the one spot behind who the Minnesota timber 314 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:59.400 Wolves. So They got some help earlier today as the OKC thunder would fall 315 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.960 to the new look Dallas Mavericks Big one forty six to one eleven. So 316 00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:10.960 the Clippers are in the two spot currently by winning percentage, a little bit 317 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.640 up on the Denver Nuggets. The Clippers have one less victory, but they 318 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.440 have one less loss winning percentage favors that, so Denver in the three spot. 319 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.759 Okay seed drops of the four spot in the West the Phoenix Suns, 320 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.920 who are hot seven to three or they are seven and three in their last 321 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.559 ten ball game. Sacramento also seven and three their last ten. They're in 322 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:36.440 the sixth seed currently. That's your top six teams that aren't worried so far 323 00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:41.000 about the play in tournament. The Clippers, they got to play their game, 324 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:47.359 obviously, and that means being more focused. Carlo Jimenez asked me late 325 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:51.839 in the ballgame, what do they need to do Monday night to avoid disaster? 326 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:53.960 And Hey, if you lose to Minnesota, it's a close ballgame. 327 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:56.720 There's no shame in that. If you play the right way, you can 328 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.519 live with the results, as coach Lee would say. But they were floating 329 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.920 with disaster against the Pistons. They really were. I mean to be out 330 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:10.759 shot by twenty to be out rebounded by twenty two, and to still win 331 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:15.359 the game, to be doubled up in points in the paint, it's remarkable. 332 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.240 I said the other day after the Clippers really played poorly against the Pelicans. 333 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.559 Give them credit just like the Pistons in this game. But I said 334 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:27.079 it on Clips and Dip that you know, the Clippers are so talented they 335 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:33.839 could play their D game and still get a win against the Detroit Pistons, 336 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:38.240 And I think that's what we saw. But I agree with Morris and long 337 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:44.160 Beach. It's not the same Detroit Pistons team. They're gonna get more victories 338 00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.000 against some of the upper echelon teams and squads in the NBA like they have 339 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.720 been. They beat Sacramento recently, they beat the OKC Thunder recently. They 340 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.240 are sick and tired of losing. Maybe they've turned a corner because they're three 341 00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:00.000 point shooting. It's been at the top of the league over the last what 342 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.079 month? Now, Tom leaving the ball game? Tom, you're on Clipper 343 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.480 stoff with out of ma's and Hi, Tom, Hey, how's it going? 344 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.559 Guy's beyond. Yeah, I have a lot of the same feelings about 345 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.279 the game today in terms of focus. And I agree with you on the 346 00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:19.119 hired of the excuses about afternoon games. Play enough of them, we should 347 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.359 get good at them. But yeah, the rebounding was atrocious and it was 348 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:29.599 really rough, honestly in the first three quarters to watch, Like the number 349 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:33.839 of second chance opportunities that the Pistons had was crazy, and it didn't seem 350 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.359 to matter who was on the floor at center, whether we're at small ball, 351 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.480 like and and part of that, and like, is that a focus 352 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.240 thing? Is that an effort thing? And every time that players talk about 353 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.359 what the team needs to improve on post game win or lost, it's always 354 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.440 rebounds. But it doesn't seem to be getting better. So I'm wondering is 355 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:55.160 there a solution that you can think of for that beyond just locking in and 356 00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:57.400 focused. Yeah, thank you. I appreciate the phone call, Tom. 357 00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.319 I think you know, energy and focus intersect a little bit, those two 358 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.440 things go together, and I didn't see enough of it. They got off 359 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.160 to the twelve two hot start. We thought, Okay, they're gonna put 360 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.480 those Matine madness narratives to rest. Finally, now they let the Pistons get 361 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.920 right back into the ballgame. Clippers led by just one after one, they're 362 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:26.039 down by nine at the half, a miserable second quarter being outscored by ten. 363 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.319 They did go small, though, and you sacrifice boards doing that. 364 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:37.759 It was successful because it let them switch everything on the perimeter, and that 365 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:42.200 is the main reason outside of them just going cold. The Detroit Pistons, 366 00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:45.640 after starting seven or fourteen from three, winch just two of sixteen the rest 367 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.759 of the way, which probably was the biggest difference in the ballgame, because 368 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:53.519 you look at a lot of these numbers. The Clippers had no business winning 369 00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:57.319 this. You're out rebounded by twenty two, a team scores twice as many 370 00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:02.000 points in the paint issue, and you still find a way to win. 371 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:06.119 But the charity stripe was kind to them, twenty five of twenty six there, 372 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:10.200 it's ninety six percent from the free throw stripe. And that's a way 373 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:15.480 to win ball games too. But I do think they were being outworked. 374 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:22.200 They out talented Detroit. But again, what did Kawhi Leonard say in Detroit 375 00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.160 after that game last week where they only won by eleven. They were down 376 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.000 by fourteen early on he said, We've been getting by too much on just 377 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:37.440 having more talent. It needs to be about execution first. That's what makes 378 00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.279 you a championship contender. They still need to build better habits. There is 379 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.519 a lot of work to be done. You like the record, you like 380 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:51.359 where they're trending, but it's still February. There's still thirty games left. 381 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.400 So this Clippers team, I don't know. I'm not gonna say it's back 382 00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:59.200 to the drawing board, but they're gonna have to be much better than this 383 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.480 Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mitch in New Jersey, Mitch, what's 384 00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:07.400 up here on Clipper stopt for that? Am also? I Mitch, hey 385 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.880 man, Well it just shows you that the Pistons missed a lot of shots 386 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.000 today with all those normals you just gave. We gotta start games at a 387 00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:21.079 quicker pace now, no money, slow starts. We're playing for the first 388 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.519 seed on Monday night. It's just great. Who would believe it? After 389 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:27.359 a slow start, playing best basketball, we're gonna win it this see you. 390 00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.039 I like they make that pick up some trade. They signed some wing 391 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:38.960 for cash. I believe it's from Denver. Yeah, it was, no 392 00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.359 they like the draft. You know, I want to see my bench. 393 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.359 I'm sorry. I never let people talk, you know, I just keep 394 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.400 going on and on and I never hear your response. I don't. I'm 395 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.880 not learning anything, am I never noticed? Mitch. You're fine, my 396 00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:59.039 friend. I punched up your call for a reason. Continue right, And 397 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:02.480 one more thing, I can see him getting getting a game with some book 398 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.119 p Jaytaka. I mean, I always liked this game. He was a 399 00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.680 good read. Rather why he's on the fence, he heard, I guess 400 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.319 he's powers because he can't be the starter. Now when you got a Hall 401 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.799 of Famer who's playing still playing like an MVP and I'm kwite Lena MVP this 402 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.319 year. You watch all right, Mitch, I appreciate the phone call. 403 00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.400 Yeah. Bringing up PJ Tucker is interesting. At one point in the game, 404 00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.920 I was tweeting out put him in. If there's one guy that wants 405 00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:32.799 to play hard, and once some minutes we know it's PJ Tucker. Now, 406 00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.519 Coach Lou said yesterday at practice that he'll get his opportunity. I'm not 407 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:42.359 giving up on this guy. I'm not. Body of work has to mean 408 00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:47.480 something. I know he's thirty eight or thirty nine now, but I've watched 409 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:53.960 him over the past season. I watched him last year in Philly. He 410 00:30:55.119 --> 00:31:00.759 plays good defense. Still, I think he still has utility on this Clippers 411 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.279 team. He can still make an impact. And when you have seventeen games 412 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.559 coming up in March, shout out, Choke Monckler, You're gonna have to 413 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.400 bring in some fresh bodies. You're gonna have to have I think Bones Highland, 414 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:17.039 Kobe Brown and PJ. Tucker get in some minutes. Brandon Boston. 415 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.799 It's gonna be a brutal schedule, an unforgiving schedule. And we've seen what 416 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:27.680 the Clippers look like tired that Pelicans game on Wednesday. They didn't look like 417 00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:33.799 themselves. And when you have seventeen games in March, that means your toughest 418 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:38.279 stretch of games is right before the playoffs. You can't burn out Kawhi and 419 00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.640 Paul George. Then they're gonna have to get more rest to be fresh for 420 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:47.160 the playoffs. So Coach Lou's gonna have to dig deep into his bench. 421 00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:52.559 I expect PJ. Tucker matchup dependent to get some minutes here in there. 422 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.039 I do, and I'm interested to see it. And he's got a lot 423 00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:01.799 of attitude and norn Fowell, who it sounds is feeling better, got stitched 424 00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:06.279 up. He said yesterday, I practice that this guy can be an enforcer 425 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.680 in a playoff series. When the game slows down. That's when he's at 426 00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:13.119 his best in the half court, and that's what the playoffs are all about, 427 00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:16.759 and he can keep guys from getting to their spots. He is still 428 00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.039 strong, he has enough lateral quickness left, so I'm not giving up on 429 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:25.759 PJ. Tucker. When we return, we'll get to will Updyke of clips 430 00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:31.200 and dip. After the Clippers win one twelve to one oh six over the 431 00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:38.839 Pistons, that Manhattan or matt Ene madness. They ain't gotta see the Knicks 432 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:45.160 again. But yeah, it was a struggle for the Clippers, as it 433 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.240 has been in these afternoon games. They're almost done with them. As we 434 00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:55.039 like to say, the Into It Dome can't come soon enough. I'm outam 435 00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:58.720 mo Ousland. He listen to the Clippers talk here on n FI seventy LA 436 00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.319 Sports. Do you want to bring a banner with them to the Into It 437 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:08.599 Down? More LA Clippers basketball on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers come 438 00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:13.839 through when they need to. They get fifteen of the thirty three points of 439 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:17.160 Paul George in the fourth quarter and they win one twelve to one oh six 440 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.359 over the Pistons. At Crypto dot Com Arena, I'm Adam Oslin. Welcome 441 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.200 back in to Clipperstock here on AM five to seventy LA Sports coming up. 442 00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:30.000 You're gonna hear from PG thirteen post game, but right now join the shows. 443 00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:35.599 Will Updyke from Clips and Dip because it was a victory, so Will 444 00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:39.519 comes on and for a little bit of Clips and Double Dip here on Clipperstock. 445 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.759 Will thanks for doing this well. I've been a little bit harsh on 446 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:47.119 this Clippers team, even in a victory, because guys, the goal isn't 447 00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.200 to beat the Detroit Pistons in February. It's to win a championship. So 448 00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:53.759 you gotta start building those habits. There's thirty games left and if you want 449 00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:58.319 some of that in game load management where you can actually rest Paul George and 450 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:01.680 Kawhi Leonard in game, so they're fresher in March. With those seventeen games, 451 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:06.200 you gotta put teams away. They were up twelve too. They let 452 00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:09.519 the Pistons into it. And really up until midway through the fourth quarter, 453 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:14.000 the Clippers were in big trouble. How did you feel about the ballgame? 454 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.800 Am I being too hard on them? Man? I? You know, 455 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:22.159 I feel like people are pretty disappointed in this in this game. I'm just 456 00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.800 glad that we got out with the win. I'm glad that we got the 457 00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:30.800 Paul George game that we that we so wanted to see since that groin injury. 458 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:36.440 And you know, it's You're just not gonna blow every team under five 459 00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:38.159 hundred out. It's just the way that it is. It's the NBA. 460 00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:42.760 There's still skilled guys on every single team. It was a noon game, 461 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:46.079 which is so weird for this Clippers team for whatever reason, even though they 462 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:50.880 should be used to it by playing more than any other team in the league. 463 00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.199 Yeah. But you know one thing I did I will say that I 464 00:34:54.280 --> 00:35:00.280 really liked in this game is we saw the sort of the textbook way that 465 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:05.440 teams have been giving the Clippers trouble, which is really physical defense and the 466 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.880 Clippers offense has kind of been falling apart. I love the way that in 467 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:13.800 the third and fourth quarter they started getting downhill aggressively, really forcing the issue, 468 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:15.440 and in a game that had a weird whistle. They put the rest 469 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:20.000 in a position where they had to make the call when you're going to the 470 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:23.039 rim with those sort of intentions like you're gonna get the call. So I 471 00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:27.519 like that the way, the way that they were able to adjust and kind 472 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.079 of get back in this one. I agree, though you you know you 473 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:32.480 would like to see some some fourth quarter rests. Obviously, it was a 474 00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.519 bummer to see norm go down, but I'm glad we got to win. 475 00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.320 And here's the thing. I'm not gonna stand up here and make excuses if 476 00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:43.039 this team wants to be the number one seed. This was not This was 477 00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:47.079 not a best in the West performance. But we are in that weird period 478 00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:50.880 of time before the All Star break where you see a lot of teams, 479 00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:54.119 even the really good teams, even locked in teams, start to slip a 480 00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:58.159 little bit. And I think it's just I think it's natural, and I 481 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.679 think as long as they're still putting away the wins, I'm willing to I'm 482 00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:05.559 willing to live with it for right now. I'm willing to overlook some of 483 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.960 the flaws for right now. Yeah, I think that's fair, that's smart, 484 00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:12.880 And they did get to the free throw line over and over again, 485 00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.039 and while they got doubled up sixty eight to thirty four points in the paint, 486 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.719 it doesn't count all the free throws they got because they got in the 487 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.440 paint and got fouled. So the number may be a little bit skewed and 488 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.880 not represent the true regressiveness of this team in the second half and down the 489 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:30.199 stretch where they were putting pressure on the rim, and you have to have 490 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:31.679 that Paul George, of course, when he got to the free throw line 491 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:35.840 once, it was on a technical free throw, I believe, or no, 492 00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:38.119 it was on the and one he had after getting a tech. It 493 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:40.519 was on the and one. Yeah, he's the one with the technical in 494 00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:45.039 this one. But yeah, the officials, neither team was satisfied with, 495 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:50.400 I think the way this game was being called. But I was very happy 496 00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:52.800 to see Paul George drop thirty three when I thought, you know, if 497 00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:58.039 he's if he's shooting like he was Wednesday against the Pelicans, should he be 498 00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:00.519 playing right now? I mean, I wasn't sure he should even go against 499 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:05.159 the Pistons. And he looked fine, He looked good out there, So 500 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.119 I think that's probably the most encouraging thing to come out of this one. 501 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:12.280 A guy who's been dealing with a groin injury led them in scoring and in 502 00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.400 the fourth quarter. Yeah, and this is like I say that this is 503 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:20.760 the Paul performance that we wanted, not necessarily that we needed. I mean, 504 00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:22.440 we needed it certainly to win this game, but we know who Paul 505 00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:27.639 George is. He's had a phenomenal season. Obviously sucks that, you know, 506 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.480 things have slipped since the groin injury, But this, I mean, 507 00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:36.719 this was so reassuring, especially after that performance against the Pelicans where I thought 508 00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:40.079 he looked he looked so out of swords and not just like the terrible shooting. 509 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:45.239 I thought like defensively he looked a little off. He just didn't quite 510 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:46.280 look right on the floor. So to see this, I mean, it 511 00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:50.880 just it helps sort of put some of those fears to the back of your 512 00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.320 mind. And now with like a little bit more rest, I'm just feeling 513 00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:59.239 very optimistic about where he's going to be, especially coming out of that All 514 00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:02.159 Star break, And this could be kind of a he needs, which this 515 00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:06.039 team needs so bad. They're an older team. They just came up a 516 00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:08.039 brutal road trip again, I'm not trying to stand up here and just make 517 00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:13.159 excuses for the Clippers, but like, it's been a tough couple of weeks. 518 00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.760 It's been a tough road to hoe. Yeah. No, they're in 519 00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:20.119 desperate need of some rest, especially because of PG being banged up, especially 520 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:23.039 because of eats A Zubats who only had to play nineteen minutes in this one. 521 00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:28.280 Because the smart move was to go small and rotate along the perimeter and 522 00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:31.280 switch everything against the hot team from beyond the arc and the Pistons, it 523 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:36.320 worked. The small ball worked. A Mere Coffee once again clutch in the 524 00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:40.199 fourth quarter two three pointers, knock down his free throws. A Mere Coffee 525 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.880 has been a godsend for this Clippers team. What a pickup they got this 526 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.000 season. Though it felt like that a little bit because he was totally out 527 00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:52.199 of the rotation the first month and then a Mere Coffee gets back into it 528 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.760 and he's playing the best basketball of his career right now. Yeah. Look, 529 00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:59.960 I mean this is the you know, this is one of the biggest 530 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:04.199 success stories of the Clippers' internal development. Like, the guy who's been around 531 00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:08.519 the team forever was really unclear where and how he would fit into this rotation, 532 00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:14.199 I mean, getting a more prominent feature when PG is down, you 533 00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:16.559 know, one of your best players out and him rising to the occasion I 534 00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:20.440 think is like one of the has been, you know, one of the 535 00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:24.039 best stories of this Clippers team this year because guys like that, I mean, 536 00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:28.679 they don't you know, you don't need him even to be all star 537 00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.679 level guys, which he's not gonna get there. But as much as I 538 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:36.639 love him here, Coffee, but solid role players on team friendly contracts is 539 00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:42.159 something that can extend a championship window and can get you through the doldrums of 540 00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.440 the seasons, can get you through games like this where you know, if 541 00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.119 we don't have a mere Coffee on this one, who do we win it? 542 00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.760 You know, like, do we ultimately put it away if the game 543 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:57.119 is the exact same. I don't know. I doubt it. He's I 544 00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.320 mean, and he's a huge momentum guy, and yeah, I don't know. 545 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.480 I'm really impressed with what we've gotten out of Coffee this year. And 546 00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.280 he is one of those guys I keep saying this, but like, depending 547 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:10.440 on what he does in the playoffs, I'm just happy that we have him 548 00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:15.440 for another year under contract. Because he could be looking at a serious upgrade. 549 00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.920 It's funny Lakers fans have been talking about d Lo playing himself out of 550 00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.400 the trade rumors and they held on to him. A mere Coffee did the 551 00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:28.000 same thing this season after he was traded during the summer in a trade that 552 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:32.559 was eventually nixed in the Malcolm Brogden move. And thank goodness because with him 553 00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:37.519 playing this good, it put less pressure on the Clippers to have to make 554 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:42.199 a move that maybe it would have been a lateral move or a slight downgrade 555 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:45.760 in some way, you know, a mere Coffee being that wing and he 556 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:49.880 was guarding a four at times in this game late in the fourth quarter. 557 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:54.239 Like his versatility is so needed right now. I'm just really happy for him. 558 00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:58.199 I'm happy that he remains a Clipper and, like you said, a 559 00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:01.880 very team friendly contract. Here remains on. Could this be just the last 560 00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:06.440 couple of games, maybe coming out of the tough road trip seven game road 561 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:08.920 you going six and one, maybe the calm before the storm for a team 562 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:14.440 that is ramping up to try to take first place back from the Minnesota Timberwolves 563 00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:15.800 on Monday night, Will, Is that what we're looking at right now? 564 00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:21.360 I think so, and I hope that they're I mean, you know, 565 00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:23.800 like I said, it's understandable if they were tired. It's understandable a lot 566 00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:28.239 of things about this game. They're gonna have to come correct on Monday, 567 00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.000 if you know, if they want that, if they want the number one 568 00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:34.599 seed, and uh, you know, you get kind of a long break 569 00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:38.119 coming up on the horizon. So they I would really like to see them 570 00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:42.719 go all in on this one and come out with a win in a convincing 571 00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.719 fashion. I'm also curious, do you think that they're gonna end up just 572 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.800 sticking with the small ball or will we see some some good Zoo stuff in 573 00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.840 this In this Timberwolves matchup, I'm sure Zoo will get his opportunities since we 574 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.920 didn't see it last time out. That was the late scratch game for him 575 00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.719 when we first found out about the calf injury or re injuring it or whatever 576 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.559 was going on there. But I think because he only played nineteen minutes, 577 00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:08.519 he's even more primed for that game Monday night after being held under twenty minutes 578 00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:12.519 in this game where they went small, And if he's effective out there, 579 00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:15.159 you know, Coach Lou, he'll ride the hot hand. I'm guessing if 580 00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:19.800 Vitza Zubots will get his opportunity to really try to shine against Rudy Gobert and 581 00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:22.760 show all the growth that he has made this season, and hopefully he's just 582 00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:27.159 in enough of a rhythm right now, still coming back recently from injury to 583 00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.559 be up for a primetime performance against one of the best in the West. 584 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.960 Yeah, and I feel like we haven't gotten to see Zoo as featured in 585 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.159 the offense as he was prior to going down with the calf injury. And 586 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:42.199 that's another one of those things like when this offense starts to stall out when 587 00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:46.519 they're playing these really large, physical defenses, it's just another look, it's 588 00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:50.280 another move, another thing that you can do, sort of force the issue, 589 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.159 get the big man the ball, and get those paint touches, which 590 00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:57.840 we know how successful they have been for this Clippers team. Clippers win one 591 00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:01.360 twelve to one to six at home again the Detroit Pistons. Monday night, 592 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:06.440 they'll be taking on the Timberwolves seven thirty tips six thirty pre game. Will 593 00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:09.480 Updyke has been our guest from Clips and Dip here on Clippers stock Big Will 594 00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:15.480 Thanks for coming through my friend absolutely anytime. Let's go clip coming up next, 595 00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:17.440 we'll close things out. You'll hear from PG. Thirteen and we'll get 596 00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:23.719 to Katy Newton's casual corner. Clippers win by six over the Pistons. Sorry, 597 00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:29.639 Eminem, we had to do it more. Clippers stock next. Every 598 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:34.199 Clipper game all season long, they didn't stop playing hard. You're listening to 599 00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:40.360 the LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on the iHeartRadio aapp. The Clippers have won 600 00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:46.840 their last five games following a loss. All right, that's a championship habit. 601 00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:52.639 Keep building, Clippers. They win one twelve to one oh six over 602 00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:55.719 the Pistons in a game that was a little too close for comfort for Clipper 603 00:43:55.760 --> 00:44:01.639 Nation and myself. Well, they pulled through. Positive sounds like Norman Powell 604 00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:06.599 will be okay, got some stitches. Yes, it was much more graphic 605 00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:12.559 and r rated. Then hopefully it ends up being because they could use him 606 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.920 Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Have no idea at this point if he'll 607 00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:22.360 be able to go. We're just hoping he's gonna be okay because physically that 608 00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:27.679 was one of the tougher blows to the heads that I had seen in this 609 00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:31.760 league on the season it is, and it's a credit to Norman Powell playing 610 00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:37.719 among the trees like that and trying to do whatever he can in a small 611 00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.840 ball lineup to grab rebounds in a game where the Clippers were out rebounded by 612 00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:50.639 twenty two and didn't have one offensive rebound. Norman Powell, he always plays 613 00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:53.320 so hard. He's always a professional out there and has been one of my 614 00:44:53.400 --> 00:45:00.719 favorite players for some time, going back to the Toronto Raptors Championshi season when 615 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:05.159 Kawhi didn't give him the fist bump. I've just loved Norman Palle's work ethic. 616 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:07.880 I don't think anyone saw him reaching these heights when he was coming out 617 00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:13.599 of UCLA. But he's a grinder. And he spoke yesterday about not getting 618 00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:16.800 in the three point contest and being disappointed but not surprised because he's always been 619 00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:22.239 overlooked. Well. I want to put the spotlight on him right now and 620 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:28.079 give him our well wishes hopefully he's okay, and also talk about the player 621 00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:32.000 he's been for this Clippers team. This is someone who dropped forty points in 622 00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:37.679 Game three of that playoff series last year in the first round without Kawhi without 623 00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:43.400 PG. He stepped up and I expect more big moments from him, especially 624 00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:46.039 because he is the king of the fourth for this Clippers team all season long, 625 00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:51.360 almost shooting sixty percent from the field and fifty five percent from three in 626 00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:55.800 the final period. But get well soon, Norman Powell tough one to see 627 00:45:55.920 --> 00:46:00.000 him go down like that. In today's ballgame, listening to the Clippers talk 628 00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:04.639 after they win one twelve to one oh six over the Pistons, let's hear 629 00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:09.239 from Paul George, who dropped thirty three untiltally redeemed himself here he was postgame 630 00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:14.559 on Ballet Sports with Christina Piggy Brian. I've got PG thirteen with me, 631 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:17.559 Paul. You guys were down in that third quarter and went small and really 632 00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:22.480 flipped this game. How did that give you guys an edge? Scrappy when 633 00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:24.880 we go small, we know we got a scrap. We did a great 634 00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:30.400 job of team rebounding and defensively, I thought we did a great job as 635 00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:34.960 just flying around big shot after big shot by you in the fourth quarter to 636 00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:37.280 the tune of thirty three points in the game. How were you able to 637 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.960 take over when it accounted? I think I got them all out last Dame 638 00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:47.239 came in, got rhythms. You know, the guys found me. I 639 00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:51.800 was able to capitalize on open loads and then I found a rhythm early and 640 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:53.280 I was able to play it all the way through it. How about that 641 00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:58.079 small ball lineup? How much confidence does it give you at this time of 642 00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:01.440 year that you guys can win in different ways with different lineup. I think 643 00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:06.519 that's the beauty of this team, putting this roster together. We're so versatile 644 00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:08.840 and we just rely on one another. We know we're small, but again 645 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:12.840 we know we got each other's back when we're out there. We're great when 646 00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.760 we're a big, big lineup, but we're great when we're a small lineup 647 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:20.679 as well. So shout out TU just trusting us out there. THI you 648 00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:24.840 great game. A couple of things there from PG. You mentioned how he 649 00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:29.800 got the bad shots out of his system. I was talking about that earlier. 650 00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:32.239 You have to shoot yourself out of this. He may have done that 651 00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:37.199 against the Pelicans. It was important to see kept the confidence up. He 652 00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.559 kept putting them up. Eventually they start to fall and you find that rhythm 653 00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:45.679 and then also, yes, there's more of a sense of desperation out there 654 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.360 and focus sometimes when you go small, because they know they don't have that 655 00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:52.079 back line defense, so they have to be better with staying in front of 656 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.880 their man, they have to be better connected. Seeing that a few different 657 00:47:55.960 --> 00:48:00.960 times this season, we're just going small creates more of a sense of urgency 658 00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:06.480 for this Clippers team. It did. They got the victory. That is 659 00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:08.280 the main thing coming out of this one. As a caller said earlier in 660 00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:13.960 Mark, you'd rather win ugly than lose pretty baby. All right, before 661 00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:15.519 we get out of here, I do want to hear from Katie Newton, 662 00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:22.639 our producer extraordinaire. It's Katie Newton's casual NBA Corner where she asked me various 663 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:27.920 questions about the game and other things. It could be anything, Katie, 664 00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:30.960 what you got today? Well today it's actually kind of off what PG was 665 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:37.599 talking about. But who are our smalls on the team, the guys who 666 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:42.360 aren't Big Zoo, who aren't Daniel Tice, who aren't Mason Plumbly, basically 667 00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.840 like what's what's considered small under six? Okay, I'll give it. I'll 668 00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:50.159 give you the guys who are out there that really turned the game. It 669 00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:57.320 was Russell Westbrook, Norman Powell, a mere coffee, James Harden, and 670 00:48:57.480 --> 00:49:00.280 Paul George. So guys, well, Paul George is six's eight, six 671 00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:07.039 ' nine, he's spelt, he's thin, and he plays out on the 672 00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:09.440 perimeter a lot. He can't get to the paint too. Doesn't get me 673 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:14.880 any calls. But you know, guys out there without a seven footer and 674 00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:19.119 their average highter probably six five sixty six sixty seven. Like you said, 675 00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:22.639 that's a small ball lineup, all right, but it creates more switchability and 676 00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:28.119 that versatility for the Clippers. If that there has been their identity over the 677 00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:30.760 last five years in the two one three era, it makes sense. I 678 00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:37.320 would say between that three point shooting and a resilient bunch, that's what defines 679 00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:42.880 them. They're gonna need all that against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night tiptime 680 00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:45.000 at seven thirty, pre game at six thirty. Before we get out of 681 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:45.960 here, I do want to thank Ralph Lauer, Brian Seeman, know what 682 00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:49.199 ego, Carlo and men is on the call, Big brother Jake Warner a 683 00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:52.400 great call himself in a way, the callers of listeners. I met am 684 00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.159 Alison we'll talk to you on Monday. The White was doing his thing. 685 00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:59.719 All they want to do is win in La Win. I thought they gave 686 00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:02.719 everything the head I'm very proud of.
